"King Charles II (1630-1685)" by Peter Lely is a renowned portrait of the English monarch, painted by the eminent court artist Sir Peter Lely. Lely, a Dutch-born painter, became the principal portraitist of the English court following the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660. This particular portrait captures Charles II, known for his charismatic personality and the revival of the arts during his reign, in a dignified and regal pose.

The painting is emblematic of Lely's style, characterized by its attention to detail, rich color palette, and the ability to convey the sitter's personality and status. Lely's portraits often feature a soft, almost ethereal quality, with a focus on the luxurious textures of the clothing and the subtle expressions of the subjects. In this work, Charles II is depicted wearing opulent garments, indicative of his royal status and the Restoration period's emphasis on splendor and elegance.

Lely's portrayal of Charles II not only reflects the king's physical likeness but also serves as a symbol of the restored monarchy's power and stability after the tumultuous period of the English Civil War and the Interregnum. The portrait is part of a larger body of work by Lely that includes numerous depictions of the king and other members of the court, contributing significantly to the visual culture of the era.

This painting is housed in various collections, with versions and copies existing due to its popularity and the demand for royal imagery during and after Charles II's reign. Lely's work remains a vital part of the study of 17th-century English art, offering insights into the cultural and political climate of the time. The portrait of King Charles II by Peter Lely continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and historical significance.
